## Full Agenda:

18:30 - Dear DB, we have to talk
Lior Amouyal, Senior Full Stack Engineer @ Check Point

The performance of our databases heavily impacts the performance of our applications. Since DBA positions are disappearing, it is on us Node.js developers to assume ownership and responsibility for the performance of our databases.
This presentation will offer practical, hands-on approaches for writing more efficient code to communicate with our databases and utilizing tools for monitoring and analyzing their performance.

19:15 - Fearless Development
Michael Solomon, Team Lead @ Autodesk

Keep it simple and test smartly. This is our motto for a development experience that reduces the famous Gil's (Tayar) "Shakeometer" device.
In this session, we will go through our principles to create a fearless development experience in your code base by moving the "smart" parts from the code to your tests.

19:50 - IntelliJ Licenses + Node.TLV 2023 Ticket!! (more details in https://www.nodetlv.com/)
